For this week’s Black and White Wednesday I am featuring Sweet Potato Casserole. BWW is a weekly culinary event hosted by Susan from The Well Seasoned Cook. Although many people don’t believe B&W photography has a place in the food world, Susan is busily proving them wrong. B&W food photos can set a mood or […]
Have you ever had an idea just randomly pop into your head, and then wonder “why didn’t I ever think about that before”? It started with the purchase of rainbow colored peppers that I planned on dehydrating for up at the cabin this winter. They were so beautiful, that I changed my plans for them. […]
With our late summer here in Montana, the tomatoes are growing full on. My neighbor has a green house and his tomato plants are so big that they are growing out of the roof, it’s quite the site. His tomatoes that he’s growing outside of the green house aren’t fairing as well, but not because […]
“I heard it from a friend who, heard from a friend, who heard that you’ve been messing around” Can you name that band? Folks, I’ve been messing around. That is on other food blogs. Some of you know that I belong to the Secret Recipe Club, it’s a place where you get assigned another blog, […]
Some foods have a hard time “wowing” people, the poor Brussels sprout, happens to be one of those foods. The Brussels sprout is a vegetable that seems be on the you either love ‘em or hate ‘em lists. I admit, I used to hate them. My first introduction came from high school sweetheart’s Mom. Just […]
I decided making cauliflower puree look appetizing on its own is quite difficult. After pureeing the roasted cauliflower it becomes this pasty ecru color and looks gritty, actually very unappealing.

Part 2 of my 3 part post: I tweeted and facebooked asking for suggestions to go with my Crispy Roasted Lemon Chicken, I got some great suggestions. My mom suggested rice pilaf, the suggestion reminded me that I have not made rice pilaf an eons, so I was excited to make it again. I also […]
Hey folks, don’t make too much fun of me….Yes I know Zucchini is spelled wrong in the title…see my spell checker doesn’t check the title, apparently neither does the computer operator. I was “viewing” my post after publishing it and wow! First thing I saw was a painfully obvious spelling error. Okay so no problem, I […]
Don’t tell McGyver that I got this recipe from an ex-boyfriends grandmother. We were visiting his family in Iowa and I had this dressing. Grandma Phyllis served with cucumbers and onions, this time. She said she used it for coleslaw, potato salad or anything else she felt like. Well, I got to tell you, grandmas are pretty good […]
I couldn’t wait to use my new cauldron Dutch Oven, and I was hankering for some Cajun food, maybe because it’s Mardi Gras. Fried Catfish and Okra were on the top of my list but I also wanted to use that beautiful red pot I brought home. A nice big pot of greens would be a […]
